<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hi Matt,<br>Thanks again for your help.<br></div>I was able to implement the example from <a href="http://itk.org/ITKExamples/src/Filtering/ImageFeature/SegmentBloodVessels/Documentation.html" target="_blank">http://itk.org/ITKExamples/src/Filtering/ImageFeature/SegmentBloodVessels/Documentation.html</a> , which does a great job segmenting the vessels from a volume!<br>
<br>I found however that the larger vessels were left hollow. In order to fill in the larger vessels I ran the same filter again with a larger sigma and then sum the results at the two scales. I am wondering if this is a recommended way to fill in the vessels? I need the filled vessels in order to find the vessel centerlines in order to eventually calculate the vessel diameter. <br>

<br>
This example may be useful [1].<br>
<br>
TubeTK [2] also has nice vessel extraction algorithms that results in<br>
an itk::VesselTubeSpatialObject [3] datastructure that has a radius at<br>
points along the vessel.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
